EXO Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I had an idea of having a DVD with the best Macross battle scenes in one DVD and looping it on a projector at the MWCon. But then I thought it'd be even better if we gave away copies of the DVD at the MWCon. I asked Solscud007 if he can put together such disk and he agreed. But I'm wondering if there's enough to fill up a whole DVD or if there's to much... then which ones do we include or exclude? I feel like the Max and Miria battle from DYRL and Guld and Isamu's from M Plus are shoe ins... but which others should be on the top of the list? Thanks ahead... Quote
eugimon Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 My votes: Max verus myria from SDFM Hikaru rescuing Misa's shuttle in the super VF-1s and the initial Max versus hordes of zentradi Quote

I think that there is enough in all of the macross world to fill up 3 or 4 hours of battle scenes alone (a guess). I was recently thinking of making a compliation of all the valk shots and battle scenes in frontier just to look at those beauties. Edited May 14, 2008 by miriya Quote
USCOLMRNE Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 SDF Macross Episode 27 - the whole battle lol Intro of Macross Plus OVA 1. VF-11's vs ANTI UN SDF Macross Episode 36. Kamujin's ship ramming onto the Macross Macross 7 Episode 44. Operation Stargazer Macross Plus The Movie: Guld vs Ghost Macross Zero OVA 3: DD Ivanov's squadron attacking the ASUKA battlegroup / SHIN vs NORA Macross Zero OVA 1: US Navy F-14's vs Anti UN Mig-29's Macross Frontier Ep 1 DECULTURE: Sherly Concert/VF-171 take off SDF Macross Episode 35. Christmas battle. Milia vs Lap Lumiz Macross 7 Episode 48? or 49?: Battle 7 gets destroyed here are some ideas Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) Man, too many to name! But yeah, maybe you should separate the series/ovas. DYRL? can't go past Max and Millia, then Hikaru's tunnel run. TV Max and Millia's first meeting, plus the game battle straight after. Last battle is great and all but it drags on too long and is patchy, maybe we can edit with effects on those patchy type battles and join them together? It's all about action right? Mac Plus - edit out the Myung scenes with Sharon at the end. Pretty much a whole feature length could be made of all Plus's scenes/battles/training sorties. Mac Zero? Much easier. Add in there Mac II !! All the others same applies like the previous. Too many good juicy battles to name. I guess we don't want to add too much story to this action DVD that's all.... editing is a must! Oh yeah i'll buy one for sure. Guld's final battle with the Ghost (movie ending) should be the last, as it's the best. Edited May 14, 2008 by ruskiiVFaussie Quote
MisaForever Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 WHY ARE YOU HAVING A CON IN CALIFORNIA??!!! THOSE OF US IN THE EAST NEED MACROSS LOVE TOO. Quote
KiriK Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Great Idea Exo! For sure have to have Hikaru's final flight scene from DYRL... and my favorite is the Arcade battle between Max and Miriya Quote
MisaForever Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 It would be cool if you played the opening as Max and Miriya sitting down to the fighting game and then have all of the fight scenes show as if they were the game that the two were playing. Just a thought. Quote
EXO Posted May 14, 2008 Author Posted May 14, 2008 WHY ARE YOU HAVING A CON IN CALIFORNIA??!!! THOSE OF US IN THE EAST NEED MACROSS LOVE TOO. What are you talking about... The Con in California WAS MADE for people from the East Coast! Quote
Mark Nguyen Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 I think it might be better to break it down to the top 2 or 3 battles per series in the franchise, and have people vote on that. Here's my picks: SDFM: -The whole damn episode of Ep. 27 -Max vs. Miria, their first encounter -The ground combat scenes & Roy's rescue of Hikaru and Minmay, episode 2 DYRL: -The inital battle of Skull squadron -Max vs. Miria, duh -The finale battle! Macross Plus: -Isamu's skirmish in his VF-11, episode 1 -Isamu vs. Guld, episode 2 -Isamu vs. Guld, episode 4 Macross 7: -The first use of the SES to repel Gigil's first appearance, episode 27 -Operation Stargazer, episode 45 -Deathmatch over Lux, episode 26 Macross Zero: -Shin's F-14 vs. mysterious flying robots, episode 1 -Roy's grand entrance in his VF-0, episode 1 -The climatic dogfights in episode 5 Macross II: -The whole battle in the second half of episode 5 -And that's it, really...

MisaForever Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 What are you talking about... The Con in California WAS MADE for people from the East Coast! Ok, I'm just upset that I can't go. Quote
Graham Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Isamu in VF-11B taking out 6-7 of the renegade powered armour in the opening fight of Mac Plus ep 1. Best fight scene ever IMO. Graham Quote
jenius Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 This needs to be Youtubed when complete.... and needs to not have a Top Gun song playing in the background! Quote
ChronoReverse Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Not technically a fight scene but I really enjoyed Alto running away in GERWALK form holding on to Ranka. Quote
Vinnie Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Any video game scenes we're missing? Macross M3 Opening with the Max & Millia VF-4 / VF-5000 blasting through battlepods. Not as big a fan of the Variable Glaug, VF-14, VF-9 versus the bugs. Short, but yet another reason why I love the VF-4. Might I also add from Macross Frontier Alto's Initiation fight set to Ranka's "My Boyfriend's a Pilot" Some people thought the contrail heart was kinda hokey, but I thought the scene overall was some nice fast-paced mecha pr0n. Edited May 15, 2008 by Vinnie Quote
Renato Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 The opening "Macross XX" intro to the 20th anniversary DVD has some nice stuff in it, and classic missile-dodging. Quote
misterryno Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 and needs to not have a Top Gun song playing in the background! Ummmmmm.....heeeelllllllloooooo......TOP GUN AND ALL THE MUSIC FROM IT IS THE $HIT!!! Quote
d3v Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Alto saving Ranka from Macross Frontier intercut with Hikaru saving Minmei from either SDFM or DYRL. Also, I want a "Full Armor Missile Massacre" montage with various valks in full armor firing missiles. Quote
Neova Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Make sure you guys put up a BT link for those of us on the OTHER side of the Pacific Ocean! Must include the Mac II scene where Hibiki fights the Marduk with the metal Siren! Crazy action. And great idea EXO! Wish I could be there! Edited May 15, 2008 by Neova Quote
wolfx Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I suggest KNIFE FIGHT!! Best battle scene EVARRR!! Quote
ruskiiVFaussie Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 you play topgun to macross? fules! Play Sharon or Minmay but not top gun >_< Quote
Noyhauser Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Isamu in VF-11B taking out 6-7 of the renegade powered armour in the opening fight of Mac Plus ep 1. Best fight scene ever IMO. Graham Agreed. That and Guld's last fight. IF you need to up your Macross 7 component, Ep 26 with the appearance of VF-11 Full Armor and Kinryu's last fight is pretty good too. Quote
Morpheus Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Make sure you guys put up a BT link for those of us on the OTHER side of the Pacific Ocean! Must include the Mac II scene where Hibiki fights the Marduk with the metal Siren! Crazy action. And great idea EXO! Wish I could be there! You mean Nexx, Hibiki never touched the Metal Siren Another request, Daedalus Attack, scene where Macross 13 firing its BFG to the UNS fleet. Quote
bigkid24 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Let's not forget Basara vs Komilia. Hikaru in the GBP vs the Cyclops recon during the Miss Macross contest. Quote
raymond Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 Does it have to include only dogfights? If not, how about adding the Daedalus attack in? For dogfights, I'd agree with the ones everyone has already suggested above. Quote
d3v Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 (edited) Let's not forget Basara vs Komilia. Hikaru in the GBP vs the Cyclops recon during the Miss Macross contest. You mean Emilia. I don't think they've ever shown an adult Komilia ever in an anime, except maybe in pictures. Edited May 15, 2008 by d3v Quote
Fred_Scuttle Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 From SDSFM - Episode 18 - VF's vs Q'd Rau's. Max - Millia in the city. Episode 31 - Even into DYRL that has the most jaw dropping footage of a VF transforming I'd seen until Macross Plus and Zero. Quote
JSaint25 Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 You could also include some of the cut scenes from the A.C.E. (Another Century's Episode) games, VF-X, VF-X2. They're readily available on YouTube, but the quality can be spotty. Maybe people who have the games can donate some clips. Oh and you have to include some of the SD opening to SDF Macross for sure. Quote
Twoducks Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I suggest KNIFE FIGHT!! Best battle scene EVARRR!! I second that! Come on people, it's a classic Quote
boinger Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 So, who's working on this Macross Mecha Action video project? I have two other Macross video project I'm working on now, which will take me a while (weeks) to get together onto dvd. Quote
Major Focker Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 not enough roy mentioned, so... DYRL saturn's rings with drunk roy doing a crazy spin. there must be more from SDF.. also DYRL opening battle, max shooting zentraedi in the face Quote
dakedo Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 IIRC one of the first scenes Macross Plus OVA Ep 1 has a training dogfight. Thats cool too. Quote
